  1. fuzz on the concept says:

    Touch shut down!

  2. The Moomin says:

    Good job the windows didn’t shut successfully, the poor people would suffocate. :(

  3. The Moomin says:

    This could spell curtains for Texas! Especially if the game was drawn.

  4. OGC says:

    so… if what?

  5. sauer kraut says:

    The window is shut on Texas? Where’s Governor Perry on this?

  6. MM says:

    windows fail. Stadium fail for using windows :D

  7. Aaron Hong says:

    That’s fantastic.

  8. Sandviches says:

    Thanks Authur

  9. notanengineer says:

    Vista vs. Texas: round 3!! MORTAL KOMBAT!!!! :-P

  10. Garnet says:

    I wonder if Windows 7 will feature more attractive reboot screens *imagines a wonder of colors and fonts…)

  11. meankitty says:

    Poor Jerry Jones – all the money spent and the windows fail *lol*

  12. Marco says:

    Whenever I see those I feel more confident with my Linux installation.
    It is never a good idea to just plug in a panel of this importance to the VGA adapter of a Windows machine. We have another photo here of an advertisement with a “blue screen”. And maybe there are even photos warning you about missing Windows defender updates ^^.

  13. PoodleSlayer says:

    it’s shotophopped
    =\

  14. Javascap says:

    Everything is bigger in Texas… even the fails.

  15. notanengineer says:

    After his appearance on TV capt. Myke Hawke got a new job as a facility manager in Texas…. :-D

  16. warezIbanez says:

    Heh, I bet the guy who uploaded this fail failed to mention he got the pic from Gizmodo:

    http://gizmodo.com/5355170/dallas-cowboys-stadium-continues-streak-of-giant-screen-fails

  17. Blue screen of death at the big green field of death?

  18. Again says:

    Figures it would be in Texas… After all, they are the stupid state that gave us 8 years of the “President whose OS never booted up”, BUSH.

  19. Matt says:

    Double fail. That’s the new Cowboys Stadium, not Texas Stadium (being torn down) or Darrell K. Royal Memorial Stadium where the Longhorns play (Hook ‘em!).

  20. Grant says:

    It’s actually the new Cowboys Stadium–not Texas Stadium.

  21. Swarley says:

    Angry Sooner fail? I’m pretty sure the stadiums’ scoreboards and such don’t use Windows.

    • Swarley says:

      Oh, comment fail. Scratch that.

    • PoodleSlayer says:

      you’d be correct. while the main system running the outputs to the segmented displays is in fact Windows-based and did in fact have to be rebooted at this game due to the new-ness of the stadium, the banner would not have displayed the boot-sequence message as it only displays a string output from the program that runs the displays. this was most likely photoshopped (as seen in how the text isn’t curved with the marquee and how no one is paying attention to the apparent fail)

  22. JW. says:

    Another fail (I’m sure it’s been on here before) is of Bill Gates giving a presentation on how much more stable the new Windows is (I think it was the 98 release)… they were getting everything pulled up on a data projector to give a tour of the new OS and got the Blue Screen of Death…. Bill laughed and said “that’s not supposed to happen, is it?”

  23. Little Girl Blue says:

    …If you feel you’ve reached this message in error, please hang up and try your call again.

  24. 5 eagles C.C.C. says:

    Not getting this fail either? not my day I guess.

  25. Terry says:

    Uh,, yeah, because ya can’t end just leave an “if” hanging there . . . It’s just not done. if

  26. Little Girl Blue says:

    It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.
    ~Bill Gates

  27. Malfeasant says:

    I’m usually the last to cry photoshop, but i think this is….

  28. hvtek says:

    obvious photoshop!

  29. wetsocks says:

    i never cry photoshop either but i came in to the comments to see what people were saying as it really looked like it, but like usual the comments never really pertain to the image , but luckily i scrolled all the way down

  30. xnamkcor says:

    I’m wondering how the image from the BSOD is being transmitted? does the marque have some sort of OCR built in? How does it know what the text says when everything is halted?

    • mittfh says:

      That’s not a BSOD – that’s the post crash “We apologize for the inconvenience…” boot menu screen (Do you want to try and start up normally, in Safe Mode, or in Safe Mode with Networking? Unfortunately nuking your Windoze partition and slapping a Linux distro there instead isn’t an option…)

  31. ZER01NE1NE says:

    Use Linux instead. ;-)

  32. Yogi says:

    I think the title should be a fail because it is not “Texas Stadium” anymore, but the new stadium is called “Cowboy Stadium”

    FAIL

  33. katrina says:

    $#@@&#%$%^%#@%^%^^&^&^%^&^ you

  34. Would you expect anything else… it’s friggin’ Texas.

  35. Fail you all says:

    Fail you all!

  36. Ahh, if the world were run by Apple or Linux …

    But, until then …

  37. Gretgor says:

    More like Windows fail.

  38. Gone2thedogs says:

    Good now we all know.

  39. Brent says:

    Welcome to the Death Star

  40. Eevie says:

    You know what that say: Everything is bigger in Texas, including the failure!

  41. Mosad says:

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  42. Jazman-Flickr says:

    Why we have Mac and lots of Linux ;)

  43. Cydney says:

    this is why we don’t use PCs

  44. thedude says:

    insert mac fanboy comment here

  45. PC Geek says:

    It proves they don’t know how to handle their equipment. Let’s face it: Windows is amazingly great before people start using bad hardware on it and whining about it.

    EG. people say Windows is slow but they don’t have 4GB RAM on their computer like they should

  46. Hammy says:

    Oh, crap! Windows did not shut down successfully…

  47. Roogie says:

    Why in the hell would you have a marquee that displays all the text outputted from your computer with absolutely no software controlling it?

    Is this even real? Why would the software controlling the output to the marquee even output error messages to the marquee itself?

  48. masterorb says:

    This is racist toward Macintosh

  49. rachelreveley says:

    Do you think Microsoft paid for that advertising?

  50. Sherlock says:

    Not that it wouldn’t be funny, but’s fake. Real bad fake. And that’s what breaks the funny.

  51. Jef likes your mum says:

    Windows fail?

  52. kickstart says:

    OMFG! ..

    Press the reset button NOW !….xD

  53. ....LOL.... says:

    Lol, Are the Windows Still Open?

  54. ctrlaltdelr says:

    I say Photoshop’d

  55. L3viathan2142 says:

    FAKE.
    Bluescreens aren’t converted for this ;)

  56. UltimateFAIL says:

    Should have used a mac.

  57. Mario says:

    totally fake

  58. Kondr says:

    Maybe its a Win… Mac Ad…

  59. trusts says:

    hilarious. made me smile.
